Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. All right, welcome back.

And joining us now is Eric Peters of ericpetersautos.com or epautos.com. And it's always great to have Eric on. I wanted to get him on before the traveling begins on the holidays. And earlier today, well, thank you for joining us, Eric. Appreciate you coming on. Thank you to get him on before the traveling begins on the holidays and earlier today, well, thank you for joining us, Eric. Appreciate you coming on. Thank you. Oh, thank you, David, and let's enjoy our travel while we can still travel. That's right. Yeah, earlier today, I talked about I got some articles

from just before Thanksgiving in 2020, NPR and all these other people trying to scare everybody to death. Don't go see grandma, you'll die, you know, and all the rest of this stuff. Make sure if you rent a car that you wipe everything down the fear and the paranoia we must not forget that you know we must not forget how they scared people to death uh so they can't do it again well not only must we not forget i think we also shouldn't forget they've got they've yet to apologize for any of that that's right to acknowledge that uh you know

assuming good intentions that they were bamboozled and fooled. And to acknowledge that and to say, gosh, you know, we're really sorry that we involve ourselves in this and that we helped to enable this. And this must never happen again. And until they apologize, I'm not going to forgive them for it. That's right. Well, you know, it's always been a rule of thumb for the government that they would make two mistakes rather than admit to one. Right.

But I don't think this is a mistake. I think it was malicious. And, you know, I think that they really do want to take everything from us so that we own nothing and we go nowhere and we have no life. I really do think that they all signed on to that World Economic Forum agenda. And without that, yeah, we got two months into the you know the so-called pandemic oh cough cough you know at that point you know initially i would be willing to cut them a little bit of slack because this thing just sort of happened out of nowhere

and yeah okay maybe we should err on the side of caution but within a couple of months it was apparent clear factual that this thing was it was being hyped it was being exaggerated and that there were malicious lies you know you and i've talked repeatedly in the past about the way they endlessly hourly talked about the cases the cases not explaining people that there's a big difference between a so-called case i.e a positive test and somebody admitted to a hospital let alone somebody who actually died yeah but they wanted to conflate those two things to convey the impression that every day thousands of people were essentially dying from this sickness which was a blatant lie and they knew it was a lie yeah so it begs the question why did they lie and as you say they did

it because they're malicious that's right yeah carrie mullis who won the nobel prize for inventing the pcr thing said you can find anything if you magnify it enough and of course they were magnifying it by 1.1 trillion times with a number of cycles. You know, right now we're seeing the same kind of thing manifest with regard to the climate change hysteria that I've written about. They're trying to conflate this idea of a fractional increase in the fraction of the percent of the Earth's atmosphere that is CO2, which is 0.04%, roughly, that somehow this tiny, tiny constituent background non-reactive gas, if there's a slight fractional increase in that amount, let alone whether that's caused by motor vehicles, somehow that's going to cause a catastrophic climate crisis. And it's absurd as trying to pathologize a virus that didn't kill 99.8% of the otherwise healthy

non-elderly population yeah that's right as a matter of fact you know i saw this coming because i've been fighting with them over the climate thing and they were covering up their data and uh lying about it we got their emails but of course um it came up with this t-shirt here mcguffin i'll just plug this shamelessly here uh because i talk about i talk about hitchcock and the mcguffin you know he says it doesn't really matter what the MacGuffin is. It's what everybody is chasing, right? It's just whatever motivates people.

And so we've seen global freezing, global warming. We've seen a pandemic. All these things are to motivate people. It doesn't really matter. And so we created this T-shirt so people can wear that, and people say, what's a MacGuffin? The common denominator here is fear. They have weaponized fear of course

that's something that governments have specialized in from time immemorial get people scared and as men can put it they will be clamorous to be led to safety and that's ultimately what this is all about even if safety means their enslavement uh and their impoverishment that's right but it was so important wasn't that that really cars really were our lifeline in 2020 because otherwise they would have really had us in their little 15 minute city or less right they would have had us locked in our living rooms if it hadn't been for the cars and and even then on thanksgiving they were trying to scare people away from using the cars because that was the lifeline they want to get rid of cars because in that way they can control wherever you go with the planes trains and buses that are left you know, if you don't have a private automobile.

And if it's you have to rent the automobile by the ride, they got you there too. You know, so it's about making us dependent and having us under complete control. That's what getting rid of cars is ultimately going to mean. Sure. It's so much easier to lock down the populace when you don't even have to literally lock them down. You can just sort of throw a switch and prevent their vehicle from being operational. And at that point, they're effectively locked down. And it isn't even necessary to do it for the car, per se.

What they want is a centrally managed form of power that is entirely under their control. So they can meter the electricity. They can turn it off. They can turn it on. So even if you could control the car, what use is it to you if they control the electricity that's right yeah and talk about that you know with thomas message put this thing together try to stop this kill switch thing and he couldn't even get support amongst the gop for that what does that tell us uh well you know i think it's because they succeeded in framing it and it was brilliant again i have to give these authoritarian leftists credit for the way they they frame things they put it in

terms of uh an impaired driving switch technology in other words they they conveyed the idea that this is about preventing people who are drunk or otherwise impaired whether by alcohol or drugs from driving vehicles and it's very difficult for anybody to oppose that because after all you're are you are you for drunk driving you know that's you know when was the last time you beat your wife it's the same it's the same kind of an argument of course massey took the time to deconstruct it and pointed out that the actual language in the the government decree talks about driver performance which is a very different thing from impairment you know what they want to do is to characterize your driving if it's outside of the parameters that the government decides are acceptable. That's got

nothing to do with whether you're drunk or high or whatever it is. Simply, if the government decides that the way you drive is outside of the parameters that the government likes, that will constitute effectively impairment. And then that will be the pretext for controlling your driving but basically in effect the car will pull itself over you don't need cops anymore yeah the car will simply stop working and you know i also point out to people this isn't something that's coming in 2026 it's already here it's been here for a number of years practically every new car that's available right now has one degree or another of the foundational technology that is going to comprise the whole system when this thing's fully enabled, already embedded in it.

And it's just a matter of turning it all on. Yeah, that's right. And you go back and you look at it, you know, we've talked many times about how with surveillance and control, they can automatically issue you a ticket. They can automatically increase your insurance rates and everything because, hey, you stopped too quickly or you took that turn too quickly or this or that. You know, not even about the speed, but they can micromanage everything about the way that you're driving. And it's like, well, I don't like the way you did that or this.

And so I'm going to give you a ticket. I'm going to raise your insurance rates. Now they can just cut the thing off. Right. Yeah. The idea is to make driving as unpleasant as possible in addition to making it impossible to drive so that you just won't want to. And people think that this is exaggerated. Talk to a guy who drives commercial.

Talk to anybody who drives a big rig. These guys are micromanaged to the nth degree. If you've ever wondered why, when you're out on the interstate and there's a semi in the left lane and there's a semi in the right lane and the guy in the left lane is kind of just barely creeping by the guy in the right lane who's maybe doing 57 miles an hour and the other semi is going maybe 62 miles an hour trying to get around him the reason is because if he goes any faster he's going to lose his job so he has to drive within these parameters you know and that's it and and they've already beta tested it with commercial drivers and they're going to do it to us they've already embedded the stuff in the car so i I've written a couple of articles about, for example, what they call advanced driver assistance technology. And I love how they always call it assistance. And assistance

is synonymous with control. It's about controlling you. It's not about assisting you. I don't need assistance to know what the speed limit is or how fast I'm driving. But what the system does, advanced speed limit assistance technology, is that it correlates the speed that you're driving with the posted speed limit on the road, and the car knows that you're driving faster than the speed limit. And then a little icon flashes in the dashboard for now just saying, oh, look, you're speeding. But in Europe, it pushes back on the throttle, on the gas pedal to prevent you from speeding. Now, you can still kind of push through that, meaning if you push harder on the gas it'll override it but the implicit point is that they

have the ability to literally throttle your vehicle to prevent you from driving any faster than whatever the speed limit is on any road that you happen to be driving on in real time and that's just one aspect of this technology that's right and when you talk about them putting it on in terms of selling it like an impaired driver, that was a way that they were selling. Is this the same device they were selling before saying we're going to mandate that everybody get a breathalyzer or something like that in order to start? Is that a part of it? Is it extended beyond that or have they changed? It's definitely a component of it, though it's not merely that they want to have some sort of passive alcohol detection technology in the car, meaning that, you know, your hand, let's say, touches the gear selector and that it has the capacity to

sample your skin and somehow determine whether you've been drinking as a result of that. That's merely a facet of it. And it's the way that they're marketing and presenting it. And an aspect of it that I think is very critical to examine and to understand is that it was once the case in this country that you had to have been convicted of something before you got punished exactly yeah that's what i was doing you know like if you if you were pulled over because you were weaving all over the road and you uh you had your day in court and you were convicted of drunk driving one of the things that typically uh would result from that if they allowed you to drive again would be that you would have to have your car fitted with an interlock system a breath interlock system that required the convicted drunk driver to show that he wasn't drunk before he could drive the car.

Well, now we're all to be presumed impaired and drunk drivers without anybody having been convicted of anything, just the same. And it's all of a piece that we're now all presumptive terrorists if we wish to fly commercially. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's the, that's the way the regulatory state works. I mean, we have regulation without representation. We have taxation without representation. And, of course, their rules, they say you don't have any due process. You don't have any presumption of innocence. It's always about that.

You know, prove that you don't owe me taxes. Prove this and prove that. And so that's what it's going to be about. And, of course, we've also, Eric, had civil asset forfeiture, where they could confiscate your car, confiscate your home home confiscate your cash without even charging you with a crime let alone finding you guilty and so yeah this is this is where they operate i just look at it from a practical standpoint if they're going to start monitoring people for uh you know being drunk and driving i'm just wondering you know if you're going to get a false reading uh because the

alcohol in somebody's perfume if they put it on a bit heavy, because there's a lot of alcohol and perfume. It's entirely possible. Yeah. The scenario that I see unfolding, you know, we use the word kill switch. I think it could potentially be the kill switch for the car industry. The more people figure this out, understand what's happening. you want to spend 40 or $50,000 on a car that effectively is under the control of someone else, some corporate entity that's spying on you constantly that the government could shut off at any time? Probably not. And of course, I guess that's kind of what they want. But you know,

the car industry has got to, you know, I wish they'd riddle it out, reason it out and think to themselves, gee, you know, our products are becoming increasingly unpopular and people aren't going to want to buy them. How are we going to continue to make money? It seems like we haven't made that connection yet. Yeah, yeah. They need to start lobbying in favor of freedom as, you know, the gun industry does. But, you know, when we look at how this is moving and how they don't want us to have any choice in all this, you've got an article that's not about saving you money. Talk about that. The fact that you have a very good example about Toyota Camrys, the non-electric version and then

the hybrid version. Talk a little bit about that, what the government is forcing. Let's set the stage. The regulatory apparatus will say that it's going to issue some new mandate as, for example, the corporate average fuel economy requirement in order to compel the automakers to produce more fuel efficient cars and implicit in that is that there aren't fuel efficient cars already available which of course is a demonstrable lie what they're trying to do is essentially force engine cars off the market in favor of battery-powered cars that's the real purpose of cafe um what they've done with regards to this particular case you know camry is i think the best-selling family's car on the market toyota sells something like 300 000 of these things every year and it's currently the last car of its type that you can still get with a v6 engine they used to be common used to be able to get them in honda

accords sunday sonatas uh practically any kind of a car well the v6 engine is becoming kind of like a v12 engine was 20 years ago in other words it's an exotic power plant for the ultra affluent i mean even 50 000 mercedes and bmws no longer come with a six-cylinder engine standard you have to pay extra to get it they typically come with a little 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine and the reason for that is there's simply no way uh for a v6 to average close to 50 miles per gallon, which is what the latest round of CAFE mandates requires, and they go into effect in 2026. So it's so extreme that not only did Toyota have to take the V6 out of the lineup, it's no longer even just a four-cylinder engine, it's a four-cylinder hybrid engine. That's going to be the standard power plant going forward.

And on one hand, the government says, well, isn't this wonderful? This thing is going to be the standard power plant going forward and you know on one hand the government says well isn't this wonderful this thing is going to get close to 50 miles per gallon and see how much money we save you but they don't tell you that the thing is going to cost you five or six thousand dollars more to buy relative to an equivalent camry without the hybrid technology how long are you going to have to drive it to earn back that five or six thousand dollars leaving aside okay you've also lost the opportunity cost of that money that you had to spend up front on the car and it also assumes you can afford your budget is such that you can just expand your your budget to afford to finance a car that's now 35 000 rather than 27 000 or 28 000 there's an incredible arrogance there and you know the hybrid camry

is already available for those who want the higher efficient model and are willing to pay a little little extra you know extra money to get that but that's never good enough for the government for the government good enough is something that we never get to because if we did get to it then the government would have to say okay mission accomplished we don't need to continue to regulate you and that will never happen just like with the the zero covet stuff you know if even one person has the sniffles we still have to have all these policies in force that's right yeah that's a great point that you made too and you made that in the article the fact that look we've already got

a toyota hybrid as well as a six-cylinder engine and um you know people have a choice already it's not like you're you this doesn't exist. It exists. The government doesn't like consumers having a choice. They're not pro-choice. And, you know, when we go back, and we talked about this for years as well, what they're going to do with the EVs and electric vehicles, and they're already talking about it. You know, their kill switch is to basically set up a way that they can suck the juice out of the car battery that you put in there when they need it for their grid.

So they're going to use these EVs as a backup for their grid. And that's really going to be a kill switch for the EVs. And you get to pay extra to get an electric vehicle so they can use it as the battery for the grid. You talk about the power plant, you know, the six-cylinder power plant. But they're putting emission regulations on grid, electrical grid power plants as well. And this is new. This is something that's just happened this year. So when we look at this, they're absolutely shutting everything down.

And that is the plan. That's what Biden is doing. It's not just, you know, zero emissions, it's zero mobility, zero that you own, zero food, everything. They want to zero it out because they want to zero out the population and they want to zero out our freedom. It's kind of interesting, too. I came across a couple of articles. I want to get your comments on this.

I've seen in the UK, they've had the National Health System has decided that they're going to spend uh 65 million pounds in order to make electric emergency vehicles electric yeah exactly good luck with that uh well we'll be there in a couple hours when we get this thing charged um they already tried this in new york new york decided they were going to do electric snow plows and then they ran into what you've talked about and other people talked about in the cold weather the batteries don't last too long when they're doing really heavy work they don't last too long and since they need to have these snow plows do like 12 hour shifts these things could at best get like two hours out of it but that was putting a happy face on it it's pretty amazing to see this insanity

and they're running up against some very real world opposition, whether or not people are going to oppose them. The laws of nature are going to oppose these regulatory fiats, aren't they? Yeah, well, the truth is going to oppose them. people don't understand the electric vehicle and you know the limitations of the electric vehicle and of electricity as a portable storage power source and what it takes to make that work in a vehicle in the setting of a motor vehicle but the truth about that is getting out there and as a result of the truth getting out there there's beginning to be opposition to it it's no longer like well you know this is a one-for-one uh swap and hey it'll be fine it's good for the climate whatever i'll be able to continue as before I'll have a vehicle that functions essentially as before it just happens to be

electric people are beginning to realize no you're actually you're going to have to accept a great diminishment in terms of your flexibility your mobility as well as what it's going to cost you and as a result of that this whole EV juggernaut is running up against a great uh a great bit of what you might call hesitancy in terms of people buying them uh the things are being built because the manufacturers are under the pressure of the mandates to produce them but it doesn't mean people have to buy them yet you know nobody's got a bayonet in their back telling them they have to go buy an ev and this is this is setting up a dynamic where I think what's going to happen next is that the government is going to start doing whatever it has to do

to eliminate the alternatives to the electric vehicle. They're going to, they're already pushing non-electric vehicles essentially off the market in terms of new vehicles. But then they're going to go after the ones that we already have. They're going to, they're going to try to figure out ways to make them inconvenient, if not illegal to use. It's entirely possible that they could do things like pass a mandate requiring that gas pumps operate more slowly, for example, so that it takes you 20 minutes to put five gallons of gas in your car so that there's sort of a parity there between your non-electric car and the electric car that has to sit there tethered to that pump that the charge pump for for 20 minutes to get a partial charge or they could just use environmental regulations to say we can't have these gas stations everywhere we're going to close them down so that i think that'll be it i think that's very likely you know because you look at all the paranoia about it and of course you know some of the old gas stations

they do have to dig them up and repair the underground tanks and things like that from time to time. But look at the paranoia that they've had. You know, those little sleeve that they put around the nozzle when you pump the gas. Yeah, to keep the gas from getting out of the air because we're all going to die if that happens. Right. And, you know, they could do something ham-fisted like you know impose impose really heavy taxes in the name of stopping climate change on on gas you know if gas gets to be 10 or 15 dollars a gallon all of a sudden an electric car looks more attractive and i think that they are going to have

to do this because their goal of getting and what is it i think it's it's at least 50 if not 70 percent of the cars fully electric by 2030 i think is the goal that's not going to happen we're all you know we're not that far away it's almost 2024. so six years from now they think that more than half and perhaps two-thirds of the cars on the road are going to be electric it's simply not going to happen certainly not unless they can figure out a way to get two-thirds of the cars that are already in circulation out of circulation yeah yeah well when you look at making the gas more expensive and artificially inflating, and Biden's been working at that very hard from day one, shutting down resources to get stuff there, but also the sanctions that he's done.

And when you look at the price of gasoline, just before you came on, I was talking about how prices have gone up in the three years of Biden. On average, about 18% across the board, some things more than others. But the thing that went up the most was gasoline prices up by 56%. So it's about triple what the average is for everything else. And that's by design. That's not an accident. That's deliberate action by Biden to make that happen.

But David, we're supposed to be really grateful that the gas is down at, what is it, 15 cents or a little less? Yeah. It really is remarkable. People's memory, it's so short. Three years ago, four years ago, gas was sort of about $2 a gallon, something like that. And now we're supposed to be happy that it's only three dollars and 20 or three dollars and 40 cents i put 40 worth of gas in my old muscle car the other day and that was enough to put half a tank into it 40 dollars wow 80 bucks to fill the thing up wow wow i saw you

doing the uh peel out with that you enjoy that i remember the day i remember the day when i was in high school i went through uh too many tires doing that. I finally learned my lesson. But now it's not just the tires. It's the gasoline that when you do the burnout, you're burning cash in two different ways. It reminds me of a great movie, Braveheart. Do you remember there's a scene where they're having the funeral and the older guy says to the little boy, they're playing outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes. Remember that? Yeah. And I feel that way when I lay rubber in my old muscle car.

Yeah. Those are, those are soon going to be outlawed pipes, just like they're outlawing the, uh, the people rolling coal and things, you know, did you see that they're coming out? What was it? I think it was eBay. Uh, they wanted to hit them with a massive fines for each and every one of those things that were sold on eBay, you know for people to put on their truck so they can roll coal you know i mean it's it's a phenomenal amount and and nothing is too far or too absurd for these people everybody lays down and dies whenever they say it's to save the climate or the environment and you're talking about cherry picking the inflation numbers i've seen this from all the way through. That's what ClimateGate was always about.

ClimateGate was about cherry picking your starting points so that you can get the trend that you want. And, you know, because they go back, if you look at the Arctic cores and things like that and really have a legitimate starting point, you can see that the Industrial Revolution is not affecting the climate in any way whatsoever. So they cherry-pick it to try to get the data that they want. But when you're talking about how they are manipulating this for a particular technology, I think it's interesting that in the UK

they're going to have some Paralympic Games. And Toyota is going to make 3,000 vehicles available for these Paralympic Games that are all going to be zero emission. 500 of them, one-sixth of them, are going to be their hydrogen fuel cell EVs, right? So you could have, you know, when you talk about, and I think this is an interesting thing because it has a lot of parallels to the pandemic MacGuffin. The climate MacGuffin is the same way in the sense that not only can you not see the data not only playing games with it and all the rest of the stuff and creating a false uh uh fear campaign but it's also that only after they create the fear campaign there's only one approach that's

going to be allowed and so when you look at this hydrogen versus battery electric vehicle thing i think that's very telling because you know know, we know we don't have time. We've got to race to this solution or we're all going to die. And you can't have the hydrogen fuel cell. You've got to have the battery fuel cell. Of course, we know what that's about. It's about creating dependence on the grid. Well, the other shoe that's going to drop is that for now, they allow the pretense to

stand that these things are zero emissions vehicles, which, of course, they're not. Everything has emissions to one degree or another, particularly you're going to define carbon dioxide and non-reactive gas as an emission. The point is they're holding that back for now because it's useful to them for now to have the stalking horse of the EV as the vehicle for getting rid of other vehicles. But I assure you, I will make a prediction that if this thing proceeds and there's nothing available but electric vehicles by 2030, then all of a sudden they're going to find that there are emissions with those things too. And then they're going to start regulating and shutting those things down too. So that again,

almost nobody except the extremely at the very apex of the pyramid are permitted to have personal vehicles. the key to fighting this is to understand that these people's motives are not malicious and to not engage them on their terms uh everything they bring out whether it's the pandemic whether it's this climate stuff it's malicious and disingenuous and you're going to get absolutely nowhere debating them on their terms you have to attack them at the core of this issue, which is about they are using these things as excuses, as justifications to tyrannize people, to impoverish people, to increase their control over the population. And that's it. That's the bottom

line. You know, it's to shut people up. Just like if you have anything to say about, if you raise an objection about the policies of the Israeli government, for example, I'm going to touch the third rail right here. That makes you anti-Semitic. And now you have to cringe because you don't want to be a Nazi, do you? You don't want to be anti-Semitic. You can't do that. That's what they want.

Or, you know, if you if you raise your hand and say, you know, I think it's kind of not not right to deny people admission, even to consider them for admission to college on account of their race. Well, that means you're a racist, obviously. And you're a member of the Klan. And a lot of people will cringe and, oh, I can't say that publicly. Stop it. Enough. We have to say it. You know, you know in your heart you're not a racist, you're not an anti-Semite, you're not in favor of pouring oil into the gutter. Don't let them put that mantle over your shoulders,

that you're somehow a bad person for questioning them we have got to start questioning them and demanding answers and i think a key part of that you know again we get back to the mcguffin you know and a key part of that is to it makes me cringe when i see people coming out and saying yeah but this would actually be more effective in terms of cutting down co2 it would actually have have less emissions than your proposal and everything. It's like, don't fight on their battlefield, right? The whole thing is a false construct. We've got to get to the root of the lie instead of saying, well, I think, you know,

you're being a little bit too harsh and we need to have a little bit more time to comply with these things and so forth and have a debate on that area. We're going to lose that debate. If we let them set the terms, if we let them create this fantasy world about magic unicorn farts that are going to kill us all we lose right and so you got to point out the emperor has no clothes and they have no foundation

of this by the way you know uh travis pull up the article there of the wooden uh version of tesla's cyber truck um okay now the question is okay because it got bill gates wants to go around and cut down trees now after after we had to pay billionaires money to plant trees whenever we committed the sin of having emissions with some activity we would have to pay an indulgence to be able to have that emission or that energy use by having them plant trees. And after they've run this scam for a long time, now they want to go out and cut down trees and then bury them. And so is Bill Gates going to want to bury this wooden Tesla cyber truck? Well, meanwhile, how many millions of tons of carbon dioxide did the recent launch of the mega rocket produce? That's okay.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. carbon dioxide did the recent launch of the mega rocket produce that's okay oh yeah oh yeah absolutely i think it is kind of funny though because in a way i've seen people criticize uh you got automotive engineers who design body styles and they said well well this is obviously designed by an amateur because all these panels are dead straight and flat and that's going to be impossible to get a good fit it's going to it's going to be really difficult to manufacture that's why they don't have flat panels on this thing but you know if you're going to do it in wood maybe that works to have well yeah you can definitely form it more readily you know it's amazing with regard to the cyber truck that they

didn't learn the lesson from delorean delorean also tried to make stainless steel bodied vehicles and you know the idea was well you have a stainless steel body it won't rust you don't have to paint it which is true the problem is stainless steel is extraordinarily difficult to form particularly in uh round type forms you know it's it's it's fine to have right angles and things like that uh but that's the problem that Tesla has with the Cybertruck you know it's 40 years after the DeLorean and this still the manufacturing process is necessary to take stainless steel and make a curved fender, let's say, you know, and make tolerances what people expect in new cars. You're not going to do that with stainless steel.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And I think that if I remember correctly, I think there was a lot of complaints at the time when the DeLorean came out. People were complaining about how difficult it was. It showed fingerprints and all this other kind of stuff. It was a real hassle to try to keep this thing looking good because if you touched it, you got all kinds of fingerprints left on the body.

But I think that Elon Musk does admire that he did gullwing doors on one of his vehicles, right? So, you know, gullwing doors. And so he's pulling back bits and pieces of it. I think he maybe, you know, saw TV pictures of this thing and never really investigated the practical aspects of the DeLoreans, which I like. I mean, we came here one year and Pigeon Forge,

they had a convention of DeLoreans and it was pretty cool. You were telling me. Yeah, yeah. It was pretty cool to see all these things. I'd never seen one up close and personal and they were all over the place, but you know, I think he's looked at it from afar and, and tried to incorporate aspects of it, uh, because everybody looks at it and thinks, uh, you know, what a cool, innovative thing. And, and so it's got that, uh, sizzle, uh, that's there, but maybe not a practical aspect

to it. Well, the thing that infuriates me about it, you know, if you were just an entrepreneur like DeLorean and, you know, offering this vehicle for sale, fine. Let people who want it, let them buy it. That's fine with me. But here we have yet another one of these battery power atrocities for the Uber ultra rich.

This thing is a six figure vehicle. So once again, the average person is having a pie thrown in their face. You know, this is for the people who are able to afford it. And people like you are going to be driven out of being able to drive cars by these smug, smarmy, virtue signaling elite people who prance and preen and talk about how green they are while they're driving these six-figure overpowered overweight uh gratuitously energy consumptive electric vehicles that suck as much energy as a v8 muscle car it's just a different form uh and expect you and i to subsidize it it's as outrageous as me somehow leveraging the government to make you subsidize the purchase of my trans am and the gas that it burns it's

beyond insufferable. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this article is going around talking about how the 1% rich with their private jets and all the rest of the stuff are generating as much CO2 or carbon or whatever you want to call it as 66% of the rest of the population. Again, this is going back to it's good to point out their hypocrisy by their own standard of measurement. But it's also important when we cover stories like this to point out, I know, by the way, nobody should care about how much CO2 anybody uses. Yeah. You know, I said years ago, this is some inside baseball. You remember when the cheating scandal broke with Volkswagen over the emission certification test and their TDI engines?

Oh, yeah. You and I talked about that a lot. Yeah. I pleaded with some people that i know in the company guys you should put some money toward explaining to people what's going on here and demand that the government produce evidence of actual harm caused not uh contest oh you cheated on the certification tests as if somehow that means somebody was harmed so what who cares that's you know that's like saying i cheated by not buckling up

for safety when I went out for a drive this morning. You know, I really think one of the keys to solving this problem is when some activist or politician or regulatory bureaucrat comes out with a proposal, demands that X, Y, or Z be done, that in the first place, it be established as fact that there is a need for this because there is a harm actual human beings being harmed not people's feelings being hurt uh you know not some rule being affronted but that there is an actual harm and then whatever the solution is should be proportionate in cost and imposition to whatever the harm is it's insane to harm a population of 330 million people over a hypothetical that you know it was a single human being put forward as and was there any proof adduced that even one person was harmed by volkswagen's tdi diesels

and the answer is no yeah oh yeah and how many how many how many people have been harmed by denying the access to a vehicle that you could have bought for 22 000 that had a 700 mile range and got 50 miles per gallon that's That's a real harm. We've been denied that. All of those great Volkswagen diesels are no longer available because they cheated on emission certification tests. And I remember when that was happening, and you and I talked about this, and we said, look, you know, we've had situations with the Pintos

where they cut corners and people died. And they said, well, it's going to be easier for us to pay off these people who died than it is for us to make this change and uh is a clear uh mercenary calculation that caused people to die and you look at you know that was a uh a lot of attention drawn to that but you look at the penalty that they paid that ford paid for that it was nothing compared to what they did to vw and you look at the airbags the takata airbags we talked about that as well and you know this is something killed uh you know, about a dozen people, actually, I think about 18 or something like that now.

And yet they didn't get that kind of treatment as Volkswagen did. Volkswagen supposedly, quote, unquote, cheated on it. Well, you know, from one standpoint, everybody cheats on this. They adjust the shifting points on the automatic transmission. Oh, they do it all the time. Yeah, they mess up your transmission. I'm sorry? They tune their vehicles to meet the test and this happens time in the car industry and typically when it happens and the government finds out about it

what they might do is uh you know require that the manufacturer makes some change they never in the past not ever did they arrest and frog mark a frog frog march an executive in chains before a judge and charge them criminally. This was the first time that ever happened. And it happened for a reason. And it happened because of the timing. If you go back to 2015 or so, that was when this electric vehicle push really began to get on ahead of steam. And they understood that the TDI diesels that Volkswagen was selling for $22,000 to $24,000 presented an existential threat to this agenda.

It would have been extraordinarily difficult to try to tell people, hey, buy a $50,000 Tesla with a 280-mile range that you'll have to sit at a fast charger and wait an hour to get a partial charge back into. Or you could drive this $22,000 Jetta for 700 miles and refill the thing in five minutes and be back on board. I mean, nobody's going to do that in any meaningful way. So they had to get rid of these sensible, affordable alternatives to the electric vehicle. And Volkswagen was the biggest offender in that regard. And that's why those vehicles had to go. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And you look at the way that they turned them it's kind of like when i saw that happening it reminded me of what happened with bill gates who lied and cheated and stole his way into essentially a monopoly and they came after him for antitrust violations which clearly uh he had violated those things and you remember seeing the uh the him as he's being uh deposed doing his deposition he's rocking back and forth in his chair, you know, and they, they, you know,

they didn't make any major issues with it. But ever since that point in time, Microsoft has been wedded, wedded to the surveillance state, to DARPA and all the rest of them. They run news guard and election guard and everything. They run all that through Microsoft. Microsoft is going to be running their coalition for content

provenance and authentication, which is going to put an ID on everything that you or I do and allow them to shut it down before it even gets posted. And so, uh, you know, they've had, they've owned Microsoft because of that. And they did the same thing with Volkswagen. They were able to put the fear of government and these guys, and now my, volkswagen is is out there you know with taking the lead and all these ev things and you know they dropped all the diesel stuff and then took the lead really in ev stuff they know how to turn people around it's amazing how they can do that oh they do and you know another example uh you know after the the near bankruptcy and the actual bankruptcy of ford and

general motors back in 08, 09, the government came in and saved the day, rescued them from bankruptcy, provided lots of government money with lots of government strings. And it's not accidental that after that point, General Motors became government motors and did exactly what the government wants and became, in effect, indistinguishable from the government. You know, these corporations now used to be sort of a separate thing. And here was the government. You know, these corporations now used to be sort of a separate thing, and here was the government, and they were kind of at loggerheads sometimes, and they would fight with each other. Now they're partnered with each other.

They're both trying to do the same thing, and we're the targets of this effort. Yes. You know, I look to see what is happening frequently in the U.K. because they really are a couple of steps ahead of us, and we're both going down the same World Economic Forum agenda, but they're doing it more rapidly. You know, they're banning cars in many different cities. They've done that.

They've got their ultra-low emission zones. They even charge, if you've got a diesel car, they hate them so much, they will put a fee on you even if you park it and you're not driving it. And so we see all this crazy stuff that's happening there. The Daily Mail had an article that was about 24 pages long talking about all the different types of speed cameras kind of giving people a heads-up warning on it and they've got These ultra speed cameras are now being chopped down by vigilantes. And so these people actually going out and sawing down the pole that this thing is on,

uh, these people are, they're getting so angry about this. And of course we've seen this with the, uh, ULEZ, the ultra low emission zone, things that,

uh, Sadiq Khan put up, uh, to, you know, if you come into my area with a car that is not a zero emission car, we're going to charge you like $12 or $15 a day. And so you had a lot of these people going around, you know, like vigilantes taking this

stuff down. Some of them got caught because they weren't even trying to hide their identity and they've got cameras everywhere. But at least, you know, they're there. That's at least they're fighting back. That puts me on a list, I guess, for saying that. But that's fine. That's the way I feel.

At least these people are fighting back and destroying this. They take the cameras, they take a pole sometimes, and they just point it at the sky and just push it up. They don't destroy it. They just reposition it so I can't see what's on the ground. Well, one man's vigilante is another man's freedom fighter. That's right. I mean, what was Robin Hood? They put our backs to the wall. They leave us essentially no choice. You know, H.L. Mencken,

who I've admired since I was in high school, said that, you know, a point comes when you have to spit on your hands and hoist the black flag. You know, they've effectively turned us into criminals, so we might as well embrace it and just proceed accordingly. It's awful to have to say that, but it's the truth. You know, you can't can't honest decent people can't be honest and decent anymore you can't function because your honesty and decency will be used against you uh and and don't let them make you feel bad about doing the right thing because they say it's illegal you know because they're trying to use their apparatus uh to punish you for things that involve no harm to anybody these cameras are outrageous all of this stuff is outrageous.

And it needs to be pulled out root and branch and thrown into a bonfire. It's high time. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they pretty much did that. That thing was up on a metal pole and they cut it down with a angle grinder. And then it's great. You know, they've got all the equipment and tools, you know, they come out there and they

have at it. I, you know, I sometimes make myself a cup of coffee and watch those videos to make myself feel better that's right they're also removing the bollards that they've set up you know for their 15 minute cities to prohibit you from traveling into certain zones the people are going out and taking this stuff down and so yeah go ahead i was going to say there's something else i think that's going to happen that's related to this and you're probably following this as well the way these insurance companies now are jacking up people's premiums to the point of unaffordability. You know, whether it's home insurance or car insurance or whatever it is that you're obliged to buy because of government fiat,

because the government and the insurance companies are in bed together. And I think at a point, a point's going to come where people are going to say, you know, if my choice is to stop driving or to not eat and pay insurance, I think I'm just going to stop having insurance and drive and eat. I'm going to stop paying it. There's going to be mass refusal to go along with this anymore. They're really pushing people to the point where it's no longer just, well, this is annoying and I don't like this. This is becoming an existential question for a lot of people. Just like with cars, if they take away your non-electric car, particularly if you live out in the country as i do and you do they're telling you effectively you know you're

going to be stranded you're not going to be able to go anywhere because you don't have an ev and an ev is impractical they're not just saying you're not going to have a car they're saying you're not going to have your house in the country or your suburbs even you're pushed to living in some kind of an apartment or whatever inside their 15-minute freedom cities. This is an existential threat. And I think once people begin to understand that, you know, they're going to come to grips with their innate desire that most non-psychotic people have. I'm not looking for a fight. I'm not trying to get into a fight.

But if you keep on pushing me and you keep on hitting me, I'm going to defend myself. Yeah. And where the rubber meets the road is really going to be at the local level, you know, and local and state government. That's where we can stop this stuff. We can, it can become worse as we saw in 2020, or you can make it better at that level. And a good example of this, I'd like to point back to is this pistol brace thing done executive order gun control, like Trump set the precedent with the bump stock and so then

Biden does it with a pistol brace but of course Trump tried to do that in his administration with a pistol brace as well started it in 2019 and then ended it in 2020 and then Biden immediately brought it back and and but here the way they handled it here Eric in Tennessee was I talked to a Tennessee state senator and he said um that senator nicely he said well we got that taken care of he said first of all we passed a law that says that if something is legal here in tennessee they can't make it illegal at the federal level and we're not going to help them to enforce any of this stuff and then we said and oh by the way pistol braces are legal so even before even while these guys are wrestling with this thing and court challenges back and forth and let's take it to

this level of the court challenge and so forth they'd already cut this thing off at the you know where the rubber meets the road at the local level in this particular case at the state level but you can do that kind of stuff at the local level as well and so you can have sheriffs that are going to stay in the gap and not going to enforce the governor's rules about masks and things like that, or they can get real horsey and they can be worse about it. You know, it makes a big difference. I tell people we've got the whole political concerns upside down. We need to understand that these people in Washington are trying to destroy our lives,

but the way that we can fight back is really at the local level, don't you think? Oh, I absolutely agree. And, you know, I'll preface what I'm about to say with what Groucho Marx once said about not wanting to join a club that would have him as a member. And what I mean by that is I am loathe to consider running for office, but I've actually been thinking about running locally for school board and on on the motto vote for Eric and he'll leave you alone and won't take your money and and you know this is as you say this is the sort of thing that we need to do minimally even if even if someone like myself stands little if any chance of actually getting elected by making the run you at least get the alternative point of view out there. And it's no longer this, this uniparty dynamic between the red sheep and the blue sheep, and they're both in agreement on the fundamentals. Let's have something different for a change. Let's actually talk about not less

taxes, but no taxes. Let's talk about leaving people alone, period, not only leaving them alone here, but interfering with them there, because you're on this side of the political aisle, and you think it's okay to interfere with people in this way, but the other side thinks it's okay to do it that way. Let's get away from that. Let's get back to just voluntarism. And if somebody's not causing harm to anybody, leave them be. You know, this is ultimately the long-term goal. And if I have to run for school board, I'll do it. That's my contribution if i you know such as it is well yeah and you might be able to actually participate they might have still

have debates there you know when you look at what is happening with the debates and i was involved with third parties and tried to you know we had ballot access for the lp that we would get on you know in north carolina but even after all this you know, it's like Sisyphus, you know, rolling the rock up the hill every two to four years. But even after you get on the ballot, they would find some way to keep you out of the debate. They didn't want to have the debate. And now we see this happening with Trump. We see it happening with Biden. They don't want to debate anybody.

It's pretty obvious why Trump and Biden don't want to debate anybody because it's not they don't want to make any of this stuff about any issues. It's got to be about them personally. And, you know, so, you know, my, the other guy, you hate that other guy, don't you? Well, you don't hate me as much as you hate him. Uh, but let's not talk about the issues because really on the existential issues, there isn't any difference between them. So why have a debate about that when that would just show that they're on the same page absolutely exactly and i think we can have a great deal of impact and influence at the local level we take back our communities and if we take back our communities we take back our states and we can take back our country in time you know the authoritarianism the authoritarians didn't succeed overnight it took them generations

to make the gains that they made and it may take us that amount of time to make them back. I agree. And we have to understand, and the reason that we talk about what is happening globally, why we talk about what is happening in Washington, isn't because we can do anything about it. We can't. As a matter of fact, I had the guy who wrote the book, The Tuttle Twins, you know, series, and he's out of Utah. And he said he helped to, he was in politics and he helped to get Mike Lee elected. He says, I don't criticize him for what he's done or hasn't done because you

really can't get much done even as a senator. And he said, I found that we've spent all of our effort trying to fix things in Washington where we have the least amount of impact and leverage. And then we focus on the presidency where we have absolutely zero impact on that. But he said he started getting involved in state politics and he was able to get a whole bunch of different laws passed that were going to make things freer for people in Utah. So that's why, you know, when we look at that,

it's important to keep that in mind and understand that as the liberals have always said, you know, I've always heard all my life, you know, Tip O'Neill and other Democrats said, all politics is local. That's where it really happens. And you would hear the people pushing for world government would always say, think globally, act locally. All the greenies and all the rest of the commies would all do this. And that's what we need. We need to understand what their global agenda is.

We need to understand the directions that they're coming after us, what the end game is with all this stuff. And then we need to fight them locally. That's where we've got to fight them, locally, each and every one of these agendas. We can even fight them at a lower level. And it's not exactly the right word. Excuse me. I've had too much coffee this morning. But, you know, at the family level, I had a discussion earlier today with a friend of mine who was telling me about, he's training his daughter

how to drive, helping her learn how to drive. And he encouraged her to use her eyes and her brain rather than be a mindless automaton that just follows the rules. So at a red light, if it's safe to go, it's okay to go. And if the law says don't go, it's still safe to go with the law. In fact, it's safer because if you becomerespective of the law in fact it's safer because if you become a rule following automaton you might decide well the light's green i can go as opposed to looking to see whether somebody's about to run that light use your brain learn to think you know it's empowering and the more people that are that are uh that are taught to think uh the more empowered they become the less fearful they

come become this is really important you know These authoritarians depend on fear. They want you to think that, oh my gosh, I have to wait to be told what to do by somebody who knows what to do, by an authority figure, as opposed to, you know, let's evaluate the facts. Look at what's going on. What's the situation? And let's decide what the right and prudent course of action is on our own. Use our own judgment. We do that, and we find that we have less and less need for these authoritarian, know-it-all, busybodies. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. It's interesting, you know, to go to foreign countries, especially third-world countries,

but even, you know, some places like France where you look at roundabouts and they don't have lanes defined. And, you know, you look at the Arch of Triumph and everything, and all these people are zipping around there, and there's no lanes. Everybody's got to be on the lookout for what they're going to do, you know. And if you go back and you look at old videos of, let's say, the 1940s or something like that, you know, in L.A., and there's no lanes anywhere. Everybody's just kind of doing their own thing, kind of like it still is in France in some places and other things like that.

We have these little lanes and lines and lights that are set up and signs that are set up. And we think that if we follow this precisely that we're going to be safe when in reality we're not. You know, if you didn't have these, my dad got T-boned and would have been seriously injured except he didn't have his seatbelt on. It's a bench seat Cadillac and it totaled the cadillac came in on the driver's side knocked him across the car fortunately he wasn't trapped in there but um you know it was somebody who ran a stop sign at a high speed and um you know some back roads and everything well imagine if you didn't have stop signs anywhere and every time you saw an intersection there uh you would like uh you, be on the lookout for somebody that's coming

your way instead of thinking I've got the right of way, you know? There's a facet of this too that relates, and that is the insipidity of it. You know, they use these terms like assistance that we were talking about earlier, and that's insulting. You know, I don't need assistance. I'm competent. I can handle things. It's as if you're somebody who's perfectly capable of walking and they present you with

a walker or a wheelchair because you're in need of assistance as opposed to being an able-bodied person who can walk. You know, I'm a person who's perfectly competent to drive a vehicle. I don't need steering assist. I don't need brake assist and all these other forms of assistance. Stop trying to parent me. Stop treating me as if I'm an idiot. I can deal with these things on my own. Yeah. me as if i'm an idiot yeah i can i can deal with these things on my own yeah yeah when we look at

what is happening too you know there's the deliberate neglect of our real infrastructure uh an example of this i don't know what the figure is here in the united states but they they had said uh in the uk 451 people have been seriously injured or killed by incidents involving potholes uh in just a period from 2018 to 2022. Because they don't fix these things, right? I mean, you see videos, even Arnold Schwarzenegger, who I can't stand any of his politics. You know, he's going out there virtue signaling because it's like, okay, I've had enough of this. We're going to fix the pothole ourselves.

And, you know, you see these vigilante pothole fixers from time to time kind of reminds me of brazil where you know robert de niro is the guy going and fixing the air conditioning things because nobody can get the government there's got a monopoly to actually do it and so people go out there and fix this stuff and the government will get very upset in places like california if you go out and you patch the road yourself you know and there's a there's something about that that i think that we should talk about these electric vehicles because of their weight that pop-up problem even worse a typical ev weighs about a small one weighs about 4 500 pounds and some of the trucks uh weigh 6 000 pounds and more so you can imagine the effect on the road over time if lots of these vehicles are out there pounding on those roads uh and we're all going to pay for that in the form of these gaping potholes that will swallow your entire car whole.

Yeah, they're talking about redesigning, having to redesign the parking garages as well because so much more weight. They didn't design it for that. It truly is amazing. But they don't care. It's full speed forward. We don't care. We're going to do this at warp speed. It's always, as I said, it's a MacGuffin.

You've got this crisis. You've got to act now. There is no time to get it right or to test it to see if it works. We've got to go with this technology or this injection, and we're all going to die and just shut up. And if you're in the way, you're a problem. You're a terrorist. We see this rolling out over and over again. Even when the evidence is to the contrary.

You know, if we assume that there is a climate crisis, let's just for the sake of discussion, assume there's a climate crisis and it's caused by motor vehicles and by carbon dioxide emissions. Well, if that's the case, then why are they pushing or why are they allowing, I should say, these gratuitously energy consumptive 6,000 pound EVs? Wouldn't you think if there's a crisis, we're all going to die, there's a crisis. The only allowable EVs would be minimalist EVs, the most basic, lightest, most energy efficient, least power consumptive vehicles, just whatever was minimally necessary to transport you from a to b uh and the reason that they don't do that of course is because the affluent virtue signalers would never want to be caught dead driving the car like that they want to go in there in their you know ludicrous speed ultra exotic ultra luxurious electric car they don't want to drive around in the electric equivalent of a Soviet era Trabant.

You know, it just gives the lie to all of this nonsense. If there were a crisis, this would not be what's happening. So we know that their motives are disingenuous, dishonest, and malicious. And we know that, you know, these are going to be the cars that the stakeholders will drive, that the private-public partnership will drive. And so, you know, they're setting this up so that only the elite will have cars. That's another part of it as well. As you're pointing out, they don't want to drive it themselves. But they don't want you to have anything. But they're going to have their cars just like they'll have their private jets and their yachts and all the rest of this stuff.

It is amazing. And, you know, when we talk about people even being killed by potholes uh yesterday they had an article from the world economic forum talking about a day of remembrance for road traffic victims and then uh as if that's not enough because they've got the vision zero that they've been using as part of their 2030 agenda smart city agenda we're going to have zero traffic deaths and of course the way you're going to do that's have zero cars um and or they're going to be traveling at zero speed which means you're not going to drive them anywhere but um you know their vision zero thing but then they take it to this direction eric they say um how a global road safety crisis

harms women's rights of course it does of course years ago they had they had national lampoon had a joke headline and it said end of the world tomorrow women and minorities hardest hit yeah this is this headline is literally saying the same thing first of all you know let's uh or a day of remembrance to uh go to war with uh cars because they're killing everybody and then it's killing women worse it's a little too early to drink isn't it there's never any end to it uh well you know uh what what else have you got at uh ericpetersautos.com? We talked about the safety and the fact that it's not actually saving you any money. You also talked about, now you talked about the end of the, there's one vehicle that's left, the last six-cylinder that's standing.

You've got to remember that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, that gets into what we've been talking about, the way the regulations are being used to force the V6 engine off of the market. But there's something else, if I could, I'd like to just shift a little bit, because I know time is short, that ties into this electric vehicle thing, which is the CVD thing, CVDC thing. Yes. You can't pay cash at a fast charger. This is something that people should be aware of.

In order to use these fast chargers, you have to use digital money. Typically, you have to have a credit card that's tied to an app on your phone. And if you don't have that, you won't be able to charge your EV. Very interesting. It's a slip away at many supermarkets and other kinds of retail establishments. They have windowed down the cash registers that accept cash to almost nil. And they're trying to control and push you into using this digitized electronic currency uh you know and and that's telling and again it's another mechanism by which the electric vehicle is going to control you you know they're going to know whether you bought electricity how much electricity you bought and more to the point whether you're allowed to buy electricity at these these fast chargers that's really important for people to understand that and

it's always been about control it's always been about control. It's always been about that. We've got to have, you know, you can, again, you can't have a hydrogen electric vehicle. We're not going to work on that technology. We're going to say that's not allowed because we've got to have something that's going to only be chargeable off of the centrally controlled electric grid. And now we're going to have the centrally controlled finances that are out there. And people are getting banned by the thousands now in the UK. That's another place where they're slightly ahead of us.

It's happening here. I mean, I got kicked off of PayPal and Venmo after five months on there. But, you know, they're doing the debanking thing, and they're ramping that up. It is ever-tightening news. That's why we have to work on how we can get outside of their system that they plan. And you have to know what system they're planning and how they're going to shut things down so that you can make plans to exist otherwise. If they're going to shut down all your banking system, well, then you need to figure out how you're going to operate on a cash or gold or silver basis with people. That's the key thing to understand where they're coming at you.

Yeah. Well, and one thing that you can do right now, and it may seem facile on the individual level, but use cash. Insist on it. Yes. If a merchant will not accept other than cash, then don't do business with that business. That's right. And the more of us do it, just as if more of us refuse to wear the mask and didn't take the jab, that can have an effect as it scales. But, you know, it starts with you and me

and every other person out there. Stop being gulled by the convenience of electronic transactions. I understand it's a little more difficult to pull out a piece of paper from your wallet and for the coins as opposed to swiping your card. But it's really important to not let them get control of our money. If they get control of our money, they control everything. And it'll actually help you to keep you from going into credit card debt too. That's right. If you have a hundred dollars in your wallet, that's all you can spend. You can't spend more than that. If you have a card, you can outspend what you're able to pay.

You know, Pierce Corbin, I interviewed him. He was in the UK and he had that video that went viral where he goes into at aldi's and they said no we're on cashless now and so to make a point you know he gets some strawberries and leaves the cash there and they say you can't do that you know and and they call the police on him there wasn't he paid them you know and i don't know what the situation is in the uk but here in the u.s if you really got to have something or you really want to make the point it says on their legal tender for all you know things and so you got the law on your side with that if you really got to have something or you really want to make the point, it says on their legal tender for all things. And so you got the law on your side with that. If you really want to press it with these people,

you can't. And you know, if you got the cash money, they got to take the cash money. That's all. That's what it's really about. Well, always great talking to you,
